Touit Gallery

Here's the gallery of Zeiss Touit pictures [Whoops again—see updates below. —Ed.]. You can see 'em at many sizes. Just going by these samples, I'd be more interested in the 12mm, myself. Of course you can't go by just a few samples.

Taken on a Fuji X-Pro1.

Hey, the funky name worked. I downloaded this picture and then couldn't find where it went, so I did a Spotlight search on "Touit" and there it was. "Nikon 35mm f/2," by contrast, brought up about 400 files.

UPDATE: Apparently some readers are having problems accessing the image page (and some readers aren't). I'm afraid I don't know why, or what the fix is, but I wrote to my contact at Zeiss suggesting they look into it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

UPDATE #2: I heard back; apparently "the factory" (Zeiss Germany) has made the decision to keep the samples images un-viewable until after the press event in mid-May. Seems...allow me to remain polite...counter-productive to me, but then, what do I know about the photo community on the Internet? I guess this post is now pointless, for which, apologies.

Hi Mike,

Salgado's book is already out in Europe. I had pre ordered Genesis in March and it arrived some weeks ago. A big project and a big book (even bigger depending on how much money you are prepared to spend) and production values are very good. However if you don't like double page spreads well you out of luck with this book. They are everywhere. I put some pictures up on my site http://www.crowleyphoto.com/blog_files/a5b2d1a6c65edce94ca6f89032e127d1-8.html so you can see for yourself. Genesis is excellent value, more than reasonably priced.

I am a Flickr member, and when I clicked on the link this morning from my home iMac, it took me to a large collection (3 pages?) of photos. The photos were taken with the 12mm mounted on the Fuji and the 32mm on the NEX (or vice versa) according to a note on the page.
I just tried it from my office Dell, and I got the "no access" message. Perhaps someone at Zeiss had inadvertently posted the photos, and Zeiss just found out?

Something changed in the page status. I could view it shortly after you put up this pot; now when I try to go to it, I get the "this page is private" screen. Nothing's changed in my status (and, no, I'm not a flckr member).

Well you little hacker Mike......I guess these weren't meant for public viewing. Well in this case the early bird cought the wurm. BTW, the 60 mm Sigma is out (Fotobooms in The Netherland is selling it, or so it seems), for NEX and m4/3 for 169 Euro or 239 at BH foto....
